WELCOME TO NATURAL BIONICS

Natural BionicS is an international collaboration of European researchers working together with the aim of creating fully integrated, symbiotic replacements for human limbs with robotic parts that the user will feel and command as a part of their own body.

Over the past few years, our team has already managed to achieve several breakthrough developments in bioengineering, surgery and soft robotics. Our joint expertise will now help turn these research endeavors into actual working applications. Join us on our journey to a world where Bionics become truly Natural.

Experimental Setup to Test Soft Feet

Experimental Setup to Test Soft Feet

An Experimental Setup to Test Obstacle-dealing Capabilities of Prosthetic Feet We realised an experimental setup to test prosthetic feet with lower-limb prosthetic users, and we validated it. We presented this work in a paper that has been accepted at the next 2023...
